Mark, I doubt radios were fitted by SA on cars coming back to Europe. My experience of Mustangs etc. (where radios make a little more sense - but not much), is that US broadcast frequencies differed from UK ones so a US-installed period radio will not work in the UK. Obviously one could still be fitted for appearance's sake, but it's unlikely AC dealerships here in the UK would sell cars fitted with unusable radios. My guess is COB radios were all dealer-fitted, so anything of the right period would be 'correct'. I'd be looking at Radiomobile, Motorola, HMV - anything that was fitted in (for example) a Jag would be right, I'd think. We'd moved away from bulky separate valve amps by '66, thank heavens.
